A (re)New(ed) Direction

It is amazing to me that we are
already one-quarter into the
new year. (Only 8 shopping
months until Christmas, the
over-zealous might say.) The 
good news about that is that we are 
already three months into our “remissioning” as a church. This year we are taking a much more in-depth look at what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ - a “disciple” of His Way. This is not a new direction necessarily, because it is something we have been doing (or being) all along, but it is a re-emphasis on the importance of finding ourselves as those who follow Jesus to the cross, are crucified, raised to a new life with him, and commissioned into Kingdom-life. Emphasizing discipleship and pondering with fresh ears and eyes, I believe will not only call some of us in a new direction but will give Renewed direction to Bethel as the body of Christ.
